Physiotherapy Reflux Exercises to STOP Heartburn | Breathing Exercises proven to REDUCE ACID REFLUX
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2021
- Physiotherapist Michelle guides you through four reflux exercises scientifically proven to reduce heartburn, acid reflux and the need for acid reflux (antacid) medication.These abdominal breathing exercises are a natural remedy for reflux.They reduce upward pressure from the stomach and may strengthen muscles that stop acid rising.
Acid reflux causes heartburn and is caused by acid rising from the stomach into the food tube. This acid burns the tissue lining the food tube (oesophagus).
Common Causes of Acid Reflux
1. Upward pressure from the belly e.g. holding your abdominal muscles tensed or wearing a tight belt which causes acid to rise up into the food tube (oesophagus).
2. Lack of closing pressure in the barrier at the top of the stomach that stops acid rising. This closing pressure is normally provided by the valve or muscular ring (lower esophageal sphincter or LES) above the stomach.
Always discuss prescribed medication changes with your doctor before changing
If you feel lightheaded or dizzy stop the breathing exercises and resume when recovered. This can happen if you’re accustomed to upper chest breathing rather than abdominal breathing.
Step 1 - Setting Up for Breathing Exercises
*Loosen your belt or remove tight fitting clothing from around your waist
* Correct sitting position for abdominal breathing exercises:
- Hips and knees approximately 90 degrees
- Feet flat knees slightly apart
- Sit with weight even between both sit bones
- Normal curve in low back
- Chest slightly raised
- Lift up through the crown of your head and bring your chin inwards slightly
- Relax your shoulders
Do these breathing exercises when calm and relaxed.
Breathing Exercise 1 (diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing)
Rest your right hand on your chest bone and left hand on your upper belly. Breathe in and out slowly through your nose. Breathe in slowly and keep the upper most hand still. You should only feel your lower hand moving in and out as you breathe .
Resisted Breathing Exercise 2 (Progression)
Press gently with both hands to resist the outward movement of your belly as you breathe in so your breathing muscles need to work harder.
Breathing Exercise 3
Place both hands on your sides, at the level of your lower rib cage. Wrap your hands around the sides of your ribcage. Breathe in slowly and deeply just as for breathing exercise No.1.
When you breathe in, first your stomach moves forwards and then your hands move out sideways as your ribs expand keeping your chest relaxed. Let the breathe release slowly from your lungs.
Resisted Breathing Exercise 4 (Progression)
Press your hands slightly against your sides when you breathe in to prevent your lower rib cage from expanding outwards to the sides. Start with your belly moving forwards. There is no need to press the ribs too firmly. If you start moving your chest forwards, stop the exercise and start again.
How many exercises and how often
* Do the exercises daily
* Perform up to 10 breathing exercises in a row starting with exercises 1 and 3
* Progress to resisted breathing exercises 2 and 4
* Repeat up to 10 exercises in a row according to your comfort levels
When to do these breathing exercises
* Do the exercises before reflux occurs rather than after it has started
- Before eating 3 times a day
- 10 minutes after eating
- If you notice you feel stressed or you are bracing your abdominal muscles
* Don't wait until you feel acid reflux burning or heartburn to start your exercises
* These reflux exercises are not an instant reflux fix and may only be effective as long as you continue them.

By June 2022 my throat was so swollen and inflamed by stomach acid rising up to my mouth and burning my upper throat when I slept that I had been struggling to breathe for weeks and eating was a worrying and very difficult experience - this caused by a hiatus hernia. Since practising these exercises 3 times each day (10 repetitions of each ) the stomach acid is now completely suppressed allowing my throat to make a full recovery - I can now breathe easily again ! I was taking lansoprazole whilst at my worst with no imorovement but it was only a few days after starting these breathing techniques that my suffering relented. You are a miracle worker, I am grateful beyond words.
How long did you do the exercise? What type of reflux did you have? Thank you 🙏
Giving me hope brother 🙏🏼 God bless you!
Gave me hopes too I can’t breath well too and have the impression that something is stuck in my throat 😢
my throat is currently wrecked, gonna give this a shot.
Stop drinking alcohol and eating after 6pm. It'll help a lot and drink pure aloe Vera Juice.
You my dear are a lifesaver! I’ve had heartburn for 25 years give or take. After doing the exercises for about a week I’m heartburn free. Freaking amazing. Thanks so much !!!
@Butch Sweitzer my pleasure! Thanks so much for the feedback, really happy this helped! ❤️
25 years? for real? I've dealing with this for a few weeks and already feel suicidal.
@@paulojonathan3161 yeah on and off for 25 years. Hang in there, do the exercises they help. Who would have thought
@@paulojonathan3161 for me it just happened last week and already feeling lost now 😭 thanks to the uploader and fellow testers that done this exercise and give their feedback.
Praise God Hallelujah Glory to King Jesus
Thank you for this video. I've had acid reflux for the last 2 weeks straight, after every meal. I tried everything and eventually started taking PPI's, although I knew this wasn't a long term solution and wanted to get off them as soon as possible.
I started your exercises yesterday evening before dinner and this morning before my first meal (no PPIs in my system) and I have ZERO reflux.
I realized that I'd stopped doing my regular 20-30 minute yoga and instead I've been weight training which I believe led to a weakening of my diaphragm - never skipping breath work again. Thank you.
Thank you very much for teaching me the exercises. Will definitely do them in the morning when I get up. Grateful if you could teach me some more.
I would LOVE another video with the rest of the progression exercises. Thank you !
Try watching this video. It really helped me!🙌🙌 i have silent reflux. ua-cam.com/video/CKDAKr5eMws/v-deo.html
I started these four days ago. After 9 months of daily reflux, i now have not taken any antacids for 3 days. I feel very positive, like I can see my life coming back! Thank you so much for sharing these exercises, I will keep them up.
@Lacey Dearie you're most welcome! So glad to read this! Thanks so much for the feedback, really happy this helped! ❤️

Thank you for sharing, you got right to the point without five minutes of repetitive talk and didn’t try selling us anything. There are those of us that would like to correct the acid reflux without medication. I’ve been working on getting rid of acid reflux and healing my esophagus. This is added help.😊
I would love to see the additional exercises. I have had GERD for more than 50 years and am finding the exercises featured here very soothing.
Thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful and very much appreciated!
Yes please more exercises!!!
Just got diagnosed this is very helpful
A tutorial with a journal article reference makes it so much more reliable.

I have been crying for day with pain this exercise helped a lot will continue it thanks for this information
How are the results?
All thanks to Dr Abiola for curing me permanently from herpes
My rib didn't expand significantly when i breathe through the belly, is that okay?
@@lintangmuktiprabowo3993 same here but l think it will improve with practise.
so......my reflux has gone !!! Bloating and discomfort too ! l've been suffering for years. Trouble is l don't know why.....🤔 l have been doing a few new things - iodine ( there's a link with thyroid and reflux) . Also been taking daily probiotic ( not sure that made difference before), plus daily herbs including clove bud oil on my gum for an excruciating tooth ache.
Very helpful, many thanks
Wow the fact these exercises exist blows my mind! It flies in the face of growing up learning we are to tighten our core muscles at all times to stay perpetually toned, but with that having been ingrained in my mind for over 20 years and the state I’ve progressed to with debilitating digestive issues, it tells me this habit can do major damage to the internal processes, acting as a mental corset! Thank you for shining light on this and I pray I can be healed from this wretched malady!
I am so grateful.. Your breathing techniques and exercises really helped me. This truly works when done correctly.. Thank you so much
@anne andrado my pleasure - indeed! I'm so glad this helped you. Many thanks to you- I really do appreciate your feedback and support. ❤️🌺
Thank you very much for having performed the best exercise for Acid reflex
I'm happy to be of help. Many thanks, Kasturi - I really do appreciate your feedback and support. 🙏 ❤️
This is amazingly helpful!
I'm glad this helps Jerry, all the best to you🙏
Yes please come up with a sequel to this.
Thanks for this!
Pleasure Hannah!
Most helpful. I would love to have further progressions to ensure I become really strong with my deep breathing as I am finding acid reflux quite a challenge. Thank you for your kind support.
Thank you so much. So happy to have found your video.I will certainly try them .
Thanks, will be trying these exercises first thing tomorrow! Yes please sho another video, cheers.
This video is saving me! Thank you so much - I’m laying in bed with so much pain, these simple breathing exercises already helped, or at the very least helped me relax.
@Ana I'm sorry to hear about the pain you've been through, but I'm glad this helped you. All the best for your recovery 🙏
Hi ..how are you...plz help to get rid of acid reflux
@@hafizahmadKhurshidtry these exercises i found from this guy. I really helps! 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/CKDAKr5eMws/v-deo.html
Hi Michelle! I'm so grateful that I stumbled on this video. I recently discovered that I have LPR (silent reflux). I am definitely going to try this. Please continue to make more videos regarding LPR and GERD. So many of us are desperate to get better. I pray this works for me. Thank you so much!
@Melissa Kalauli My pleasure indeed, I do hope this helps!🙏
Any update?
did it work for you?
Hey. Could you say if it fixed the problem for you? Dealing with LPR too
Just found this remedy, thought I would share it as it does wonders to my sore throat. Mix 125 ml of alkaline water with 1/4 tbsp of bicarb soda and use the solution to gargle as often as you like. My sore throat was gone within 2 days and with diet, breathing exercises and supplements my reflux has stabilized now.
Again, this is very helpful, thank you so much!
So glad you find this helpful Nina! All the best to you! 🙏
You have given me HOPE!!! I have a doc appt (an expensive visit), I plan to do these exercises before my visit in hopes that I may not need add'l tests or possible surgery. Wish me luck in 2 weeks in hope to have my gerd issue resolved.
Would greatly appreciate you doing another video with the additional exercises from the study you mentioned - thanks!
OK I've got this planned for Julie :)
My rib didn't expand significantly when i breathe through the belly, is that ok?
I'm feeling better now, thank you so much! 😇
@Marzan, Weinz Lee N. Excellent! Pleasure to help and I'm so glad you're now feeling better. Thanks so much for letting me know. All the best! 🙏 ❤️
Great video! Some key points were highlighted that I hadn't heard anyone else discuss. Thank you!
@Henry Thomas my pleasure! Thank you for taking the time to comment. All the best!🙏
THANK you doc.❤️❤️
Thank you. This breathing exercise helps me a lot. I was in pain for 12 hours. And I saw your video, and it helped me to find sleep. You are so good.
@Lili Y sorry to hear on what you've been through and I'm so happy to hear that my video was able to help you find relief and sleep after being in pain for 12 hours. Thank you for the lovely feedback. All the best to you!🙏 💖
For me, I used to have GERD everyday. I started doing sit ups and these breathing exercises and it went away just like that.
Are you on any acid reflux medication? If this works I’d like to quit the PPI meds they put me on.
@@zs3671 No, I am not on any medication for Acid Reflux
It is soooo hard for me to belive that... I tried everything,ofc nothing worked for me.
I think that all of this has connection with vagus nerve
how many sit ups did you do a day? also how long did it take acid reflux to go away? thanks
@@jonathan__BBE good question
Thanks for the videos! Starting to yoga for the first time!
Thank you so much for breaking these down!! I found the study but could not find the exact exercises. Would love to see more!
Thank you so very much for this video. I'm suffering from GERD and would love for you to make a second video. You're information is researched based and therefore accurate.
How can there be 64 dislikes for something so wonderful as these exetcises?! Thank you so much for sharing them. Would love to get hold of the next set.
@pauline warjri pleasure! Thank you so much Pauline, I really appreciate your support - can’t please everyone unfortunately 🙏❤️
Ahhh. To be able to see the quantity of dislikes...
Hi ,I suffered with acid reflux because A got also a low thyroid that created a poor digestion,but don’t get the acid reflux in the esophagus only heartburn in the stomac and my husband is overweight a lot and he got often acid reflux all the way up into the esophagus and I told him about this amazing exercise and he doesn’t believe and this is the reason that 64 dislikes are showing and they are just ignorants,but breathing exercises are great for stress,especially me when I have panic attacks is helping me tremendously,so we are lucky 🍀 to be able to see this videos for free,and the voice of this lovely lady has a healing effect on many people who suffer from digestive issues,Pauline I wish you to heal completely without harmful medication.God Bless you 🙏🏻
@@user-smart3 there is a bunch of people who believe that the only solution for any health problem is to buy the pills and take the pills. Pills for everything on daily basis.
Those people are either braiwashed by big pharma or too lazy to do an excercise or keep a diet.
@@ColinAverill the good ole days when you didn't have to figure out for yourself if a video was complete garbage
Thank you so much. Please post the next progression exercises =)
Thank you for this amazing video!!!! May Grace always be upon you!!!! Huge thanks!!!
@Suraj Rai my pleasure! Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I am most grateful to you indeed . Wishing you all the best for your future health and happiness 🙏 💖
Already feeling better. Thanks for the exercises, Michelle!
@Gee You're so welcome! I'm glad this helps you. 💖
How are u now ?
@@rexjabay2727 I've been well, thank you! Do you also have reflux problem? If u would like to know what really helped me, removing the root cause is what actually worked, at least for me! 1) I quit my corporate job & took a break from work 2) I mindfully improve my mental health. I literally stop myself from the habit of analyzing every single thing. 3) I searched for a church nearby to attend. Prayers help. Our God is a healer!
I'm free from gastric for a couple of months now.
I wish you well, my friend :)
Thank you for the fantastic video. I would love you to make more video exercises if possible. I have been doing the exercises for the last 2 days and found them quite helpful. I also included lifting up my head from supine position whilst doing your breathing technique. I wonder what you think of that, hopefully I am not doing the wrong thing.
Thank you for your help. Would love to get the next set from the study.
really like the simple and well explained excersizes!!
@Catarax I'm really glad they make sense, thanks so much for the lovely comment ❤️
These excercises have helped me deal with the acidity. I sleep better st night. Thank you
@Giselle Ashley Lobo You're welcome! Great to hear - I’m glad this helps you!💓
It's a great relief for me. Hopefully after doing it more it will be more than just a temporarely relief. Thanks for the video!
@Schmidteren my pleasure! I'm just so glad to read this from you, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. All the best to you! 🙏
Thank you very much I would appreciate it if you can post the next progression of these exercises. You are helping a lot of people! If you want to briefly review these exercises and post the next progression that's great too!
The progression is exercise 2 and 4.
Amezing..it's really work👍
Thanks
It makes sense. I stopped doing my vagus nerve exercises for 2 days and got acid reflux. This method definitely does work. Thanks for reminding me to breathe! 👍
I tried the exercises after experiencing acid reflux for months My dr said she didn't know what to do with me? I tried the exercise up to hands on side of ribs . I wasn't sure where to put my thumbs? No response not a movement outwards? Dead as a door nail? Why is that.? The first exercises ok.
What vagus nerve exercises? I have upper reflux and abnormal cells at base of esophagus not yet barrets and i am determined to not progress further.
What kind of vagus nerve exercises do You do?
What is vagus nerve excercise?
Thank you Michelle for the wonderful excises which I need so much. Lately I've been suffering a lot specially in the evening. Stress is always there.
How are the results???
Remember you are not alone.
yes....and we forget to breathe when stressed...my reflux is worse at night too. l wonder why? l noticed that l have very slow stomach emptying. Now, ginger helps with this but l was informed that it can aggravate the reflux but l haven't noticed this 🤔
Excellent, @MichelleKenway! Thank you so much for this video. Could you please present the other progression exercises from the study?
Thanks I will try it.
I have suffered for the last several months before finding out my SI. Joint was not in good shape. After TWO weeks of following Michelles exercises ,the pain has decreased 80 percent. And getting better daily. I can’t thank you enough for your knowledge you are officially my hero ,
I now know how to breath and strengthen my core safe and effectively. Simple exercises with incredible results
THANK YOU Michelle ,Blessings to you.
@Diane Droski pleasure to help! I'm sorry to hear about your suffering and I'm so glad to know this helps you. It makes my day to read this and thanks so much for sharing your positive results. All the best🙏
Found this after searching for something to help with my new problem with heartburn. I actually was in bed doing this laying down. And just doing this once made a huge difference! Was like the valve was working again. Such a relief! Thank you!!!
@Caroline Larsson You’re most welcome Caroline - I’m glad this helped you 💖
How often do you do the exercises? When did it start to work?
Yes please give more exercises for acidity
Yes please do the second video I appreciate these first exercises and do them often :)
Thanks so much for these exercises. I've suffered for years with GERD, so I can't wait to try these out. Would love to get off my my medications.
@Geoff Smith you're most welcome - happy to help! Hope this helps you. Best of luck!🙏 ❤️
How is it going?
@@Sanjbhndri Thanks, my reflux episodes haven’t been too bad. I haven’t been consistent with the exercises, though. I need to be more consistent.
Genius. I had pain in chest, back and head after eating avocado toast and sweet potato. Did these exercises and it released something. I burped and could feel food in my esophagus coming up to my throat. Then I felt better, like I unlocked something, and I think the food is now being digested. The pain is better and I'm still doing the exercises. Amazing difference but still have some shoulder pain. Thank you and God bless you.
@Angela you're most welcome! Thanks so much for sharing. Glad this helped. All the best for your complete healing! 🙏
i thought sweet potatoes were ok to eat for acid reflux i am confused and worried what to eat
@@ikeasanders6211 I'm not a dietician, but I do think sweet potatoes are okay to eat. They didn't "cause" my problem, and I've eaten more since this episode and felt fine. Hope this helps.
@@ikeasanders6211 It's not the food. It's the stress on the vagus nerve and diaphragm. I also have reflux and eat paleo/blood type diet. Sometimes I think carbs trigger it. The next day it's different... I want my life back, that's for sure.
Fantastic content Michelle. Thanks so much for uploading this!
@DanielSRosehill You're so welcome! Really my sincere pleasure and privilege ❤️🌺
love to see more exercises at a later date. thanks!
Oh much needed, I keep getting heartburn recently! It's awful
Glad this helps Kat - heartburn is just awful isn't it!!
Has you find some relief
Hi, MIchelle, thanks for this video. Very helpful indeed. You mentioned you'd do a follow up video with more of the exercises. Did you end up making it? If so, where can I find it? Thank you very much, Dusty
Hi Michele thanks for this video.I just found your video.I am suffering from erosive gastrisis since past one year.The symptoms recur and I feel helpless in those days I think due to acidity I am having spasm in my back and shoulder which become unbearable sometime.Please suggest some exercise for this also.
Extremely helpful video. Thanks.
@EduHealth Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Thank you for your support! All the best to you!🙏 💖
Great video. I would be very interested in seeing additional videos with all the progression exercises done in the study. Thank you!
Any excercise for Hiata hernia ? Your videos are brilliant
That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Hi Michelle!
Great information and video! Thank you. If you can please make the follow up video showing the progression that would be fantastic and very helpful! Thank you for all you do!
I’m glad you’d like to see them E&R - I have them prepped. It’s been very challenging to access these exercises, I believe part of the effectiveness is to do with the relaxation of the abdomen - try to be conscious of tension in your upper tummy throughout the day too. All the best!
I'd love to learn more! Thanks so much!
You're so welcome Carol - happy I could be of help.🙏💓
Thank you so much for the video. Very helpful.
@Cristian Reynoso-Betancourt my pleasure - glad it was helpful! All the best!🙏💓
Michelle, you really saved me just now from my acid reflux! I did all the sample exercises in this video after I just ate (I've been having discomfort for a few hours) and I honestly feel soooo relieved. Probably just temporary, but looking forward to doing these exercises daily! I'm looking for ways to avoid going back on medicine for acid reflux. Hoping for the best for myself. Thank you so much!!!
@TitaKJ I'm so glad this helps you , slow and steady - wishing you all the best! 🙏
Hey how are you feeling now , after doing the exercises shown. Has your acid reflux decreased. I am suffering from 25 years
Great exercises...and it reminded me that since l changed yoga classes and no longer do the previous breathing exercises which are similar, my reflux has worsened. l also noticed that when l apply pressure to my abdomen or diaphragm with my hands my shoulders tense up. Any tips? Thanks 🙂
Take a towel around your belly or a scarf and tighten and release it with breathing.
Dear Michelle many thanks for your excellent video.
My pleasure Peter! 🙏
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this. I would live more exercises. Really hoping I’ll be able to reduce or better yet stop my medication by doing these everyday.
My pleasure I’ll work on the next exercises to bring you too 🙏
I take some d-lemonine and do belly breathing. It really relieve my reflux.
This is great! Nice to have an alternative to "eat/don't eat this!"; or 'take that this or that'; none of which has helped me. Just saw a gastro yesterday & all he did was give me a PPI, which I don't want.
Yes please to more physio exercises. 🙏
Plze show more exercises. Thanks
Yes same prob 😑
Try this guy! His exercises really helped me🙌🙂 ua-cam.com/video/CKDAKr5eMws/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing Michelle, could you please forward the next level of exercise 🙏
Great video. thank you!
Hi Michelle. Thanks for the exercises. Im going to try them. I have GERD and esofagic reflux lesions. My abdomen bloats a lot and I'm almost sure my lower sphincter got hypotonic because of this bloating. Do you have some tips for this bloating too? I really need to improve this situation. Thanks a lot. Sorry for any English mistakes
@Patricia Moriconi bloating can have an effect on reflux, management depends upon the cause of bloating, it's often diet related. You may like to watch this video on food and bloating for more information too (disregard the title that says constipation, it's also about bloating), I hope this helps you Patricia ua-cam.com/video/ZFe1g52Of6g/v-deo.html
Hello Michelle, thank you, they are great and helpful, please we need additional exercises, more...please, I am passing to my brother too. Michelle, with your respect i want to add a comment that helped me a lot, can I ?
Many thanks, it is a very informative, useful and drug free approach to aerophagia sufferers. it seems to be promising relief for many. If you could please clarify when exhale through mouth or Nose is better and effective for this exercise. Very welcome all your clips and many more to come. With kind regards and good wishes.
Hello there, exhale via nose or mouth - whichever feels most comfortable. I exhale via mouth but try to inhale via nose as often as I can remember. All the best!
@@michellephysio Thank you very much for your kind explanation. Please also let me know whether supine lying positions is necessary for to aerophagia sufferers. with kind regards.
Dear Michelle,I watched many other videos about breathing exercise for acid reflux,but your voice fascinated my attention to your comments and besides following your exercise exercises,mentally was a connection of healing and filling calm ,God bless you 🙏🏻❤Thank you
@Gaby So glad to read this Gaby, thank you for taking the time to comment. All the best to you!🙏
Thank you
Norman. Thank you so much for the exercises. I have laryngopharyngeal reflux which affects my voice . pH impedance test suggests that the problem is probably caused by acid reflux. Do you have specific exercises for this condition? I would be grateful for your help.
hey did you find a solution, same problem..
@@habibi3223 Norman, I am dealing with the same issue as far as hoarseness. It's helpful if you start drinking alkaline water 9.5 PH. Also 3 times a day you want to fill half a cup with the alkalline water and add either baking soda or pound 2 tums into powder and put that in the water and stir. Then gargle. It helps deactivate the pepsin that has gotten into your throat area.
@@jamest681 thx, where do you get the alkaline water?
As a professional singer and singing teacher I do exercises 1 and 3 more or less every day, I teach them to my students in their first lesson. I've been suffering from reflux for over eight and a half years now. I'll try the progressions and see if they help at all in comparison. Thanks!
Would like yo get a feedback if it works.. Mine started just now. ☺️
Did it work for you? How are you doing?
You were doing the exercises for 8 years and you also had reflux or
You had reflux for 8 years and now you started with the exercises?
Great doctor
Omg! God bless you! I feel better. I’ve had this for 2 months. It’s awful. You are an angel 🙏🏾👼🏻🙏👼🙏🏻👼🏽
@Odalys Ruiz You are so welcome! Great news, indeed! I'm so glad this helped you feel better. All the best to you!🙏
It's like you can see into my life! Thank you!
Edit: if possible, could we have more for GERD/GORD, LPR, and upper digestive issues? It's so common and yet so hard to find solid advice
Hi Jane yes definitely this area is a passion for me - what would you like to see? Solutions? Foods to choose? Anything in particular? Cheers
@@michellephysio everything :D Advice for before, during and after meals, seated and standing ways of releasing upper and lower abdomenal tension, food and food mixing advice, activities to do and to avoid, sleeping, wind down before sleeping, sitting for long periods. I could go on but I won't! Thank you for replying
@@michellephysio Solutions and foods list, please.
Have you tried the apple cider vinegar tonic treatment for gerd? It took me off of opremazole.
@@enlightenedvegan5958 It burns my throat like mad, no relief at all.
Anything to help stop reflux would be wonderful please Michelle. I stopped taking PPIs last August after having taken them for over 20 years!! After hearing about the possible harm they can do to you long-term I thought enough was definitely enough! I haven’t done too badly since stopping them, but take a Rennie or two daily and a little Gaviscon at night, but do struggle with what’s best not to eat? If you can help I’d be so very grateful.
Very many thanks for the video and exercises Michelle
Hi Sue gaviscon is helpful agreed. I’d love to cover goods for reflux as this is a special interest area of mine - will prep this in coming weeks, thanks for the request! 🙏
@@michellephysio So many thanks Michelle, I’ll be really looking forward to the video 😃
Did you try out the apple cider vinegar treatment?
@@enlightenedvegan5958 No, not recently EV as, I found the first time of using it it gave me indigestion. Until then I really had high hopes, not to worry. Thanks for caring x
Thank you and cool song choice.
The exercises sound hopeful. Please do another video with more exercises.
